  1. Bring the stock to a simmer. Heat a large wide pan and add half the butter and the olive oil. Add the spring onions, leeks and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the rice and stir to coat then tip in the wine and bubble until reduced. Add the stock a little at a time, stirring until the rice is tender with a little bite and oozy.
  2. Stir in the Parmesan and the rest of butter and season.

    Where are the leeks? All I see is Spring Onions?

    This was really easy to make and delicious. Even my teenage son who hates leeks absolutely loved it.

    It's the second time I've made this now - it's wonderful. Perfect for a Friday evening when you want a really tasty, comforting dinner but don't want to spend hours slaving over a hot stove or lots of preparation work. Really wonderfully tasty, even DF loves it and he "hates" rice! Mmmm - a sneaky frequent entry in the monthly recipe rotation!

    Parmesan is not vegetarian... Contains renet. BBC Good Food should sort this out, a lot of recipes are labelled vegetarian when they contain ingredients that are not suitable for vegetarians.

    Very nice, needs constant attention as most risottos, but worth it. Easily doubled, without need to double butter and oil.

    With regard to recipe not being suitable for vegetarians, you can use a vegetarian Parmesan style cheese, such as Twineham Grange, which I think is available in most supermarkets. I think that Good Food would take it for granted that as a vegetarian you would consider this, as well as making sure the wine you use is also suitable for vegetarians...

    We loved it - even hubbie who isnt a big fan of risotto. Easy to make, albeit you have to watch and stir contantly, it's not actually difficult and cheap too. A great sunday night cosy dinner.
